No one likes hardship. No one. 

 

However, the great hope for the believer is that our hardest moments can become the backdrop for our deepest faith. In today’s episode, I’m joined by author, speaker, and fellow podcaster, Jennifer Slattery, who shares how God met her in the middle of poverty, instability, confusion, and heartbreak—and changed everything. 

 

Jennifer is candid about how her childhood trauma colored her adulthood perspective. Until it didn't. And she found peace. 

 

From a surprising church invitation to finding spiritual strength after Hurricane Katrina, Jennifer’s story is full of hope, healing, and God’s redemption. You’ll hear how Proverbs 14:1 became a cornerstone for rebuilding her family and why simply making the choice to stay near Jesus will anchor your soul and give you guidance when everything around you feels like it's spinning out of control. 

 

If you’re walking through uncertainty, this episode will remind you: God’s not finished yet, and His plans are still good.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

If you’ve ever had a conversation where you’ve walked away thinking, “Wow! That was just what I needed”, you know you felt encouraged, learned a thing or two, laughed, and maybe even felt a bit challenged.

Author, national speaker, and pastor’s wife, Donna Jones provides life-giving “that’s just what I needed” conversations to help you know, love, and follow God in the midst of real-life--the one with daily demands and crazy cultural chaos. Sometimes she’ll welcome a guest we can learn from; sometimes the conversation will be just her and you.

 But, Donna’s hope is that each conversation will be exactly what you need.
